I have a new 1858 Pietta .44 cal Gunfighter (5 1/2" barrel) that I purchased from Cabelas. I need to get the porting job done to accept .45LC. There are no gunsmiths in my area willing or able to do the job. I know there are instructions on the internet on how to do it myself. I just don't want to buy the dremel and blueing equipment and then mess up the job. I have purchased the Kirst Konverter with the loading gate and the Richards-Mason ejector assembly. Does anyone know of a gunsmith I could send it to do the job? Also has anyone completed this conversion? How did it work out? Thanks in advance. chaoszen.
